Yes I'm sure - unfortunately - the high on Friday was 5 degrees F.

Today it got up to 18.....Monday and Tuesday it'll be in the 30's (will feel
like a heatwave comparatively), then the temps will plummet again on
Wednesday for the foreseeable future - lows in the negative digits again.

Nicole - who *hates* winter (would like it much better if it only lasted
say.....*two* months!)

I keep a bubbler going in my pond all winter. It keeps the water from
freezing over where it bubbles up. The issue isn't oxygen so much as
keeping a hole open in the pond for gas from decomposing waste matter to
escape. I'm on Long Island and we have had the same temps.
